Junior Guinea Pig
Hi, I really need some help and guidance with my guinea pig, Digby.
This is my first time posting here, so not entirely sure I’m doing this right, but my guinea pig, Digby, isn’t at his best.
Almost all of the lower half of his body has lost all hair, and the few remaining strands are grey rather than black.
He had some breathing issues, which have mostly (though not fully) cleared up with an anti inflammatory.
We have been to the vets multiple times for the hair loss, but they cannot identify any cause. We would rather not do any invasive or extensive tests unless we have to, but we are starting to feel desperate.
Has anyone experienced this before? Think we have ruled out fleas, wringworm, mites and cancer is unlikely though not ruled out.
They’ve check everything, but don’t seem to have an answer
Any help would be appreciated
